Undertaking a new construction project – importance of a dilapidation report
Category: Building Inspection
In the bustling city of Sydney, where approximately one-quarter of private buildings are dilapidated to various degrees, it is crucial to address the issue of building dilapidation. Building dilapidation impacts the aesthetic value of these structures and contributes to urban decay, a major eyesore in many well-developed cities. Building dilapidation can lead to significant risks and potential harm if not properly assessed and addressed. Therefore, before undertaking any construction or excavation work near an existing property in Sydney, obtaining a dilapidation report from a trusted and reliable source like Clear View Property Inspections is essential. Clear View Property Inspections is a fully licensed and insured family-owned and operated business that provides personalised, friendly service in NSW.
At Clear View Property Inspections, we pride ourselves on our expertise and comprehensive inspection process. Our team of qualified inspectors are trained to assess all aspects of a property, including its structural integrity, façade elements, potential falling objects, and overall condition.
Legal Protection
The report functions as documentation to safeguard the interests of the property owner and neighbouring property owners. It aims to establish the property’s condition before any nearby construction or development activities. In cases where damage occurs during or after construction work, this report can serve as evidence regarding the pre-existing condition and aid in determining liability.
Dispute Resolution
When conflicts arise between property owners, contractors, or developers regarding potential damage caused by construction activities, the dilapidation report can be valuable. It resolves disputes by offering an unbiased assessment of the property’s condition before any construction work occurs.
Peace of Mind
Property owners find value in obtaining a dilapidation report as it establishes the condition of their property. In situations where neighbouring construction leads to potential damage, such a report provides an objective reference that enables them to evaluate the extent of any harm and pursue suitable reparation or restoration measures.
